Russo <br />City Manager <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />17070 Collins Avenue, Suite 250 <br />Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Russo: <br /> <br />It was a pleasure meeting with you and Lynn Dannheisser to discuss the City's <br />redevelopment aspirations for the Sunny Isles Boulevard area between the Intracoastal and Collins <br />Avenue. We also enjoyed our preliminary reconnaissance visit with you and your staff. As we <br />discussed, community revitalization is a focal point of our practice, and we are very interested in <br />working with you and the City on what is a complicated but exciting challenge. <br /> <br />We propose an initial work effort - what we refer to as a "due diligence" investigation. Our <br />experience tells us that the first questions the City should answer are: what are the realistic, market- <br />supported opportunities; what are the constraints which must be overcome and how can the City <br />achieve its objectives? <br /> <br />\V orking with existing information we would: <br /> <br />1. conduct a general field assessment of the study area and its environs; <br /> <br />2. conduct a discrete set of interviews with key public officials and private interests; <br /> <br />3. assemble the relevant information in a meaningful narrative and graphic form; <br /> <br />4. identify opportunities and constraints; <br /> <br />5. prepare a preliminary redevelopment/revitalization strategy; <br />
